Answer:

65% of the original amount.

Explanation:

Let's say that the original amount is 100%; therefore, if we subtract 35% from the original amount we have

$100\%-35\%$ $=65\%$

Hence, if the amount of fruit decreased by 35%, then we have 65% of the original amount left.

Answer:

(3X8) - 4 + 2 - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the order of operations solve:

(24) - 4 + 2 - 12

20 + 2 - 12

22 - 12

Don't feel bad, this is an odd question and the parenthesis do not seem to be required. Following the order of operations would result in the same answer anyway...

Odd.

Against the wind a small plane flew 715 miles in 2 hours and 10 minutes. The return trip took only 1 hour and 50 minutes. What w

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

360 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed for the outbound trip was ...

speed = distance/time = (715 mi)/(2 1/6 h) = 330 mi/h

The inbound speed was ...

(715 mi)/(1 5/6 h) = 390 mi/h

The airspeed of the plane is the average of these two ground speeds, so is ...

(330 +390)/2 = 360 . . . . mi/h

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mile and a speed of 510 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate

sdas [7]

Answer:

442 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

To properly solve this question, I illustrate some given parameters using attached image

From the image, apply Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + 1^2 = y^2$

Differentiate w.r.t time (t)

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 0 = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$

Divide both sides by 2

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}$

From the question, we have that the plan travels are 510mi/h.

This implies that:

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 510mi/h$

So, we then calculate the value of x when the distance (y) is 2mi i.e.:

$y = 2mi$

Apply Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + 1^2 = y^2$

$x^2 + 1^2 = 2^2$

$x^2 + 1 = 4$

$x^2 = 4-1$

$x^2 = 3$

$x = \sqrt 3$

So, the expression becomes:

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}$

$\sqrt 3 * 510 = 2* \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{\sqrt 3 * 510}{2} = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\sqrt 3 * 255 = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 255\sqrt 3$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 255 * 1.7321$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 441.655$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 442$

<em>Hence, the distance is 442 miles</em>
